Governance

This document describes the governance model for the Botanu SDK project.

Roles

Users

Anyone who uses the SDK. Users are encouraged to participate by filing issues, asking questions on GitHub Discussions, and providing feedback.

Contributors

Anyone who contributes to the project — opening issues, submitting pull requests, improving documentation, or participating in discussions. All contributions require DCO sign-off.

Maintainers

Maintainers are responsible for:

  • Reviewing and merging pull requests
  • Triaging issues
  • Releasing new versions
  • Ensuring project quality and direction

Current maintainers are listed in MAINTAINERS.md.

Becoming a Maintainer

Maintainers are contributors who have demonstrated:

  • Sustained, high-quality contributions over time
  • Deep understanding of the codebase and project goals
  • Commitment to the community and the Code of Conduct

New maintainers are nominated by existing maintainers and approved by consensus.

Decision Making

  • Day-to-day technical decisions are made through pull request reviews
  • Significant changes require approval from at least one maintainer
  • Architectural or breaking changes should be discussed in a GitHub issue or discussion before implementation
  • Disputes are resolved by maintainer consensus; if consensus cannot be reached, the lead maintainer has final say

Scope

In Scope

  • The Botanu Python SDK (botanu PyPI package)
  • Documentation in the docs/ directory
  • CI/CD workflows and release automation
  • Integration guides for OpenTelemetry Collector

Out of Scope

  • The Botanu Collector (separate repository)
  • The Botanu Cost Engine (separate repository)
  • The Botanu UI (separate repository)
  • Vendor-specific backend integrations

Code of Conduct

All participants must follow the Code of Conduct.
